Luke Darcy’s questions for Bulldogs coaching candidates

4 Comments

The Western Bulldogs have announced that Luke Darcy will be on the panel to select a new coach. Here are the questions Luke plans to ask them.

  • Are you good at coaching?
  • How good?
  • Are you as good as say, Alastair Clarkson or Ken Hinkley? It would be awesome if you were. Would save me a lot of embarrassment.
  • Do you mind if I occasionally make special comments during the interview? They’ll mainly just be obvious points or repeating something you’ve already said.
  • What do you think of a grown man who wears gloves on television even though he’s not at the snow or in space?
  • Do you really, really like Tom Boyd?
  • Hypothetical scenario: Tom Boyd wants to do something a certain way and you want to go about it in the total opposite way. How quickly do you give up on your way?
  • I was thinking the other day that coaches go through a lot of stress and have very poor job security. Media personalities, like myself, have far less stress, longer careers and get paid a lot more. Guess there’s not really a question in that. Anyway, thoughts?
  • Which other teams have overlooked you for you to be here today?
  • Was my interview with Dean Robinson the best interview you’ve ever seen?
  • Have you ever coached Ocean Grove to a Premiership?
  • Say that again? Just kidding, people expect me to say that now. Actually, could you say that again? I wasn’t really listening.

Let's be honest.

Any coaching panel that doesn't have Gary Lyon on it is a sub standard coaching panel

The Bulldogs need to get back to bringing in someone as coach who really understands their winning culture. That is, a Western Bulldogs ex-premiership winner. Surely there are still a few blokes around left from 1954?

Questions you missed that he will ask.

Are you the best in the business?

Are you one of the elite coaches in the competition?

Could you be elite in say, the next 5 months?

Has anyone ever said they love the way you go about it?
Give examples.

Are you the rippingest bloke?
Will your appointment to this position have potentially massive ramifications on the make up of the eight?
Will Brad Scott be fuming if we appoint you?
